rtaturther object is to provide an auto-- matic manifoldinp sales boolr which "will be cheap to inanuliacture and convenient in llhha p it'urther'object is to provide a practical and .ehicient automatic manitolding sales vthile making inscriptions thereon.

@ther objects Will be in part obvious and in art pointed out hereinatteu'.'

-he invention accordingly consists in the features ot construction, combinations of elements and arrangement ct parts which are be euernplitied in the construction hereinafter set forth, and the scope of the application or which will be indicated in the fol. lowing claiinal v I jlln the accorn anyinpg drawing'wherein isshoWn'one oll t to various possible embodimerits oil this itrvention Figure l is a plan view oil the complete device, and Fig. 2 is a side elevation.

' dimilar reterence characters rater to similar parts throughout the several view at the drawing". p

Retaining now to the dra'vving in detail, l denotes a support or bitch to which is socured by means cit staples Q a plurality of sets oil original and do licate leaves it and t, -respec'tively.' hhese eaves are connected at thoir lower ends, the original leaf being thldcd back on and-above the duplicate leal". lit-line ct perhorations h in the told permits tlwdeaves to be lent orthe'set, whereby the same may be conveniently bound. A second line of per llnited States, residing readily detached. Each duplicate leat is" longer than the original each original leaf extends slightly beyond the line of perforations 6 whereby it is firmly held or pinched by the stub 7 of the duplicate leaf thereabove or the binding 8 in the case of the to set. By binding the leaves in this manner both the original and duplicate leaves will be firmly held in position While the inscription is being made thereon, thereby producing more perfect duplicate records. The back of each original leaf is carbonized throughout substantially its entire surface as indicated by the heavy line and also the torn portion 9.

By means of this construction it is unnecessary to use carbon sheets and the book may be operated more rapidly and elliciently.

lln order to prevent inscriptions being reproduced on the lower sets of leaves, the rear cover 1 is folded back on itself and the upper art 10 thereof provides a separatbr plate w ich nua be inserted beneath the top set of leaves. I the separator plate is drawn out and laid over the to set of leaves, thereby forming a to cover or the book.

hile it is thought that the operation of adevice of this character will be clear from the above description, a brief statement thereol i substantially as follows: The seporator plate 10 is insertedbeneath the top set ot original and duplicate leaves and the inscription recorded upon the ruled lines. This inscri tion is reproduced on the du plicate lea t by reason of the carbonized surface 9. After completing the inscription the set of leaves is grasped between the thumb and finger and torn from the stub along the perforated lines 6. The original and duplicate leaves are then separated along" the line 5 and disposed of as desired. it a subsequent transaction is to be recorded the separator plate is inserted beneath the next set ot leaves and the boolr is again ready tor operation. llt it is necessary to inahe' an erasure, the end of the original leaf may be easily slipped out from its no cure position beneath the stub ot the preced.

quickly operated and is adapted to accom plish, among others, all the objects and ad .vantog'es above set forth.

hen the book is not in use Having described my invention, vihatl' claim as new and desire to secureby liet ters Patent is:

1. In a device of the character described, in combination. a plurality of sets of original and duplicate leaves, the duplicate leavesbeing bound together along one end edge and the free end edge of each original leaf being temporarily secured by the stub portionsof the adjacent leaves. I

2. In a device of the character described, in combination, a plurality of sets of leaves connected at one end, the opposite ends of the alternate leaves being bound together at their stub portions, the free ends of the other alternate leaves being temporarily secured independently of the binding means.

3. 'ln device of the character described, in combination, a plurality of sets of leaves connected at one end, binding means for the opposite ends of the alternate leaves, the free ends of the other alternate lenves be ing temporarily secured beneath the stub of the leaves thereabove, the hack of each of said lest-mentioned leaves being carbonized.

. t. ln s device of the character described, in combination, a plurality of sets of originn-l and duplicate leaves connected at one end, the opposite ends of the duplicate leaves only beingbound together to form a stub, the tree ends oi the. original leaves being temporarily secured to the stub, and inanifolding" means between the sets of leaves.

a device oi? the charscterdescribed, in combination, a plurality of sets of originsl and duplicate leaves, the leaves of each set being connected at one end and the oppo site and of the duplicate leaves being bound together to form a stu-h and lines of perforution separating the stole from the duplicate leaves, the free end of each original leaf extending beyond the line of perforations to be temporaril retained between the stub portions of the duplicate leaves.

6. Ina device of the character described, in combination, a plurality of sets of original and duplicate leaves, the leaves of each set being connected at one end and the opposite end of the duplicate leaves being bound together to form a-stub, and lines of perforation separating the stub from the duplirate leaves} the tree end of each original leaf extending beyond the line of perforations to be temporarily retained between the stub portions of the dupli ate leaves,

mo es? the back of each original lent being carbonized, V

i. In a device the character described, in combination, a plurality of sets of origiend duplicate leaves, the leaves '01" each portions of the duplicate leaves,'-nianifoldneg mennson the back of each original loan;

and a separator plate adapted to be inserted I beneath the top; set of leaves.

8. In adevice-of the character described, in combination, a plurality of sets of original and duplicate leaves, the leaves of each set being connected at one end and the opposite end of the duplicate leaves being bound together at their stub portions, lines of peri eration separating the stubs from the duplirate, leaves, the free end of said ori inal leaf extending'beyon the line of perforations to be temporarily stained between the stub portions ofthe duplicate leaves, manifolding means on the back of each original leaf, a rear cover for said sets of leaves, and a separator plate adapted to be inserted be heath the top set of leaves.

9. ln a device of the character described, in combination, support, it pod mounted thereon comprising e plurality of sets of original and duplicate leaves, the duplicate leaves extending beyond the sdjscent edges of the original leaves to form stub portions, means for securing the duplicate leaves only to the support, weakening lines near the end of each duplicate leaf whereby the leaves may be, separated from the pad, manifolding means associated with each set of leaves,

and means connected with said support for preventing. inscriptions being reproduced upon the sets of leeves beneath the top set.

10. ln s device of the character described, in combination, a support, it pod mounted thereon comprising a plurality of long and short leaves alternately arranged, the longer leaves only being bound to said support and the free ends or the'shorter leaves adjacent the bound edge of the longer leaves being temporarily secured thereby independently of the binding means.
